Chloe - The Frugal Trainer

A Pokémon Trading Card Game booster pack for the 'Scarlet & Violet: Temporal Forces' expansion. The package features a purple and blue creature with tentacle-like appendages against a watery background. The pack is labeled as 'Security Protected' and contains 1 additional Pokémon TCG booster pack. The pack is displayed against a dark red background.

My beautiful partner bought me these today! Fingers crossed for something good!

Any experienced traders know what the best pulls are for Temporal Forces?

That’s really cool! Congrats on your pull 🤗🤗

I absolutely adore the way you described that 🤣

Thank you! Cool resource, so much I didn’t have when I first started collecting haha

Thanks! Appreciate the tip 🙏🙏 it’s a shame that all the cards don’t have a bit more value but I’ve seen the cards I used to have 20 years ago and even the standard cards are crazy valuable now so I guess it will just improve with time 😅

Oh man I’m so behind on my knowledge 😅 no idea who you’re talking about I’m afraid. Mind filling me in?

Ahhhhhh got you! Did you know when you pre-ordered that they were going to be as popular as they are or did you just buy because you were interested and get lucky?

Thank you so much for your perspective as a player 💕 so having gold cards is kinda a flex? Something to show off to your opponent? Sorry if this is a silly question 😅

I’m in Australia, do you happen to know if there’s one for Aus? Also that card appears to not be a shiny. Does it not make a difference if it’s shiny? Sorry I may be missing something here, my knowledge is 20 years outdated 😅

That’s so odd 😕 does it happen often that you have a 10 and you’re sure of it and they for no apparent reason give it a 9? Is there not another grading company?

Ahh okay! Cool either way! 😁

Nice!! Silly question but why did one get graded a 9? It looks impeccable. I’ve never had cards graded before 😅

Nice pulls! Panpour is so cute! I’ve never seen that Pokémon before 😍

They look to be in excellent condition, why did you get 9s and not 10s?

That Espeon looks awesome! Congrats on the pull regardless 💕

Omg so adorable!! 🥰

Wow congrats! I love any and all versions of Pikachu, definitely envious! What pack did you get him in? 😊

Thank you so much 🙏 I knew by the 3 stars I had something good but wasn’t sure how good 😅

Why aren’t the others worth much? I thought shinies were always kinda the thing everyone wants?

Hope you don’t mind a heap of questions 🙏💕

Ahh okay I’ve seen some videos online, this is the set people have been getting into fights in Costco over and people have built tunnels and forts with these 😬 Pokémon cards were not this insanely popular when I first started collecting them 😅 awesome pulls! 💕

Two Pokémon TCG cards, both rare. The one on the left is Yveltal and the one on the right is Reversal Energy.

One Pokémon TCG card, rare. Its name is Iron Valiant.

I bought a Paradox Rift pack and a Temporal Forces pack today. Here’s the rare cards. These 3 were from Paradox Rift. I got none in the Temporal Forces.

Experienced collectors - can you tell me about these cards? 😊

Wow!! So cute 😍 I can see why you love them! How long ago did you get them?

So tired of Charlotte being handed everything. Not watching smackdown anymore if they just hand her another title at the expense of someone who’s been working week in, week out.

My favourite Pokémon are Pikachu, Mew/Mewtwo, Jigglypuff, Snorlax, Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard, Evee and all evolutions, Rayquaza.

As someone who doesn’t know majority of the generations I’d love any help, advice, tips that more experienced trainers are willing to share.

My goal is not to buy individual cards over $10AUD and instead trade up. I’ll start with booster packs and then work my way up to the cards I really want.

I used to own a generation 1 shiny Charizard. It was probably my favourite card. I recently found out that this card now sells for about $25,000. Absolutely wild! I’m so devastated I didn’t keep mine.

I traded some of my best cards for that Charizard.

It’ll always be the biggest regret I have.

For some background - I don’t know most of the new Pokémon. I know all from generations 1-3 but after that my knowledge rapidly drops off.

When I first got into trading I was about 7 years old and while my friends were smart and put theirs in binders, I traded mine until they were heavily damaged.

A mint condition shiny Latias Pokémon TCG card.

4 Stellar Crown Pokémon TCG booster packs, including one which is annoyingly upside down. It bothers me and now it will bother you.

It’s been over 20 years since I collected Pokémon cards. I wanted to start again.

So far I’ve been collecting cards from the McDonald’s Dragon Discovery set but wanted to also get into the others.

Today I picked up 4 of the Stellar Crown booster packs with a guaranteed Shiny Latias!

Trying to find moots 💕 here’s my interests

- collectibles, especially Pokémon TCG but also wanna see your Yu Gi Oh cards

- video games like baldurs gate 3, witcher 3, fallout series

- lgbtq+ humans, especially trans folks

- wicked movie

- tech and science

- im sex worker/of creator friendly

A few online stores have purchase limits for popular stuff. Easy to get around and make multiple accounts but probably takes too much time to be worth doing.
